MAMMOTH LAKES, CA

Malcolm Dalglish and the Ooolation Singers will perform on the patio at the U.S. Forest Service Scenic Area Visitor Center in Lee Vining at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 2.
Ooolation! is a summer vocal experience that brings folk-inspired choir music from the great outdoors to the stage. The teenage and young adult members of Ooolation are a group of unique and energetic young singers from across the country who gather with professional composers and musicians to bring new compositions to life. They practice for 10 days in an aspen grove high above Mono Lake and assemble a show of nature-inspired music with high-spirited moves, percussion, and spine-tingling harmonies.
Singers who attend Ooolation share a wide-open enthusiasm for diverse musical roots, a wide range of vocal colors, and performance ideas. Whether they are singers who like to move, dancers who like to sing, teachers, conductors, actors, instrumentalists, poets, artists, athletes, ear-learners, or sight-readers, they all share a passion for music making. Ooolation is where they can live, eat, and breathe song. They build a community united by collaborative music making and respect for the natural world. Their performance has become an annual tradition here in the Eastern Sierra.
The Visitor Center is located off of Highway 395 just north of Lee Vining on the bluff overlooking Mono Lake. The concert is free and is being offered in partnership with the Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association, U.S. Forest Service, and the Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve.
